Do You Fear God? (Part 13)

Another trait of the people of the last days is that they are brutal (fierce), meaning savage and untamed. It is the word that describes the savage beast of the world that is unrestrained in its fierceness. It is a word that should never be true of people, but tragically it is. Never in the history of the world have men become as fierce and savage as they are today. People no longer just murder, they mutilate. They torture. They kill at random. They kill by twos and threes and by thousands and millions. Have you ever heard of the Holocaust? Over 6 million Jews were slaughtered by Hitler and his evil henchmen! They took pleasure in their torture and savagery. More Christians are being killed today for their faith than at any time in history. People no longer just correct and rebuke their children, their spouse, their friend, their neighbors, their employee or a stranger. They curse. They abuse. They attack. They damage. They act violently! In these last days we see a dramatic increase in fierce and savage behavior. Does this type of behavior describe you? 1 John 3:15 (NKJV) states: “Who-ever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.” Do you fear God? Romans 3:18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.” The people of the Last Days have no fear of God. Proverbs 10:27 states: “The fear of the Lord prolongs days, but the years of the wicked will be shortened.”
